MadDog Mike's Platterful of Pupule - El Tiki/Ben Wilson Wall Finished - Other Crafts

I had built a faux bamboo frame and reed fence shade on the Lanai so I could grow some semi-tropical plants but it was starting to look pretty shabby. Plus the reed fence didn't really block enough sunlight. So I built a mini A-frame with some bamboo fencing shade. Do the beams with a carved figure have a name? I want to put a netted float hummingbird feeder up, so I did a search on TC: the home of all things tiki. Sure enough, Kohl's sold some about 5 years ago. A TC member bought up a bunch of them, I'm checking with him to see if he has any left. Otherwise I'll have to improvise ~ maybe a netted rum bottle feeder with rum colored nectar. I'm sure that will get me in trouble with PETA and the ASPCA :D
